NVMeoF: multipath stuck after bringing one ethernet port down

I have seen this too, but was internally investigating it as I am
running 4.9.6 and not upstream. I will be able to check this patch on
Sunday/Monday.
On my setup the IOs never complete even after the path is reconnected,
and the process remains stuck in D state, and the path unusable until I
power cycle the server.
Some more information, hope it helps:
Dumping the stuck process stack (multipath -ll):

Looking at the dissasembly:
0000000000000170 <blk_execute_rq>:
...
1fa: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 1ff <blk_execute_rq+0x8f>
/* Prevent hang_check timer from firing at us during very long
I/O */
hang_check = sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs;
if (hang_check)
while (!wait_for_completion_io_timeout(&wait,
hang_check * (HZ/2)));
else
wait_for_completion_io(&wait);
1ff: 4c 89 e7 mov %r12,%rdi
202: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 207 <blk_execute_rq+0x97>
if (rq->errors)
207: 83 bb 04 01 00 00 01 cmpl $0x1,0x104(%rbx)
I ran btrace, and it seems that the IO running before the path
disconnect is properly cleaned, and only the IO running after gets stuck
(in the btrace example bellow I run both multipath -ll, and a dd):

As I wrote above, I will check the patch on Sunday/Monday.
